研究领域

The lab is interested in the molecular basis and cellular role of cytoskeleton-based dynamics. We make use of the fungal model system U. maydis. This pathogenic basidiomycete switches between a yeast-like and hyphal stage and is able to infect maize plants. It combines technical advantages (molecular genetics, published genome, excellent live cell imaging) with biological similarities to animal cells on both genomic and functional levels. This enables us to address important cellular processes relevant for higher eukaryotes that cannot be addressed in other fungal model organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Schizosaccaromyces pombe. Moreover, U. maydis is an important plant pathogen that causes smut disease on corn. Thus, our work aims to answer fundamental cell biology questions, but also provides important insights into the basis of fungal plant pathogenicity.
